fortified settlements (<settlements by function: military>, <settlements by function>, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Prehistorische nederzetting die verdedigingswerken heeft zoals grachten, ophogingen of ommuringen. Zulke verdediging werd in het Neolithicum noodzakelijk, wanneer mensen sedentair werden en zich op één plek vestigden, om aanvallen tegen te gaan. |
